We stocked a lot of picks that can be bundled to get the right player out of the draft, I just hope we know who that player is. Address defense with FA this summer and look to shore up the goalie situation.</p>therattrick.com commented on 'Cup Awarded in Sunrise: Team BankAtlantic Center Wins Kegger Cup'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20133ec80fa8d970b2010-04-06T20:06:42Z2010-04-06T20:06:42Ztherattrick.comClash: Let's get one thing straight.

<p>As I said in another post here, expecting a superstar from anyone is ridiculous. 40 goal scorers are rare, even in this more offensively driven version of hockey compared to 10 years ago. Its not the 1980s where a 3rd liner could score 30 g and 70 p. Guys like Ovechkin and Crosby are called genrational talents for a reason. Guys like Lecavlier, Staal, and Thornton don&#39;t match up, even as good as they are, and those guys are superstars. Weiss was never expected to be to be a top line center, except possibly by those who have believed the bs rhetoric spouted by the Panther/Yormack PR machine. Weiss is a solid second line center who can chip in on the first line for injuries, and a team leader. He&#39;s also a solid defensive player. </p>
<p>But there&#39;s no team in Sunrise to lead. Just an excuse to control an arena and make bank off of it.</p>therattrick.com commented on 'Cup Awarded in Sunrise: Team BankAtlantic Center Wins Kegger Cup'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20133ec80919e970b2010-04-06T18:48:59Z2010-04-06T18:48:59Ztherattrick.comGents: I have to respectfully disagree about Weiss.

He is a fragile, gritless player that is being shoved down our throats as a number one center, and he is not. At best he is a number two. </p>
<p>He&#39;s been here for 8 years and finally had what many would call a &quot;Good&quot; season.<br />
Remember how he went into a scoring slump when Horton got injured? He was on pace to score 35-40 goals earlier, now will be lucky if he gets to 30.</p>
<p>I just don&#39;t get what everyone sees in him. He&#39;s not a superstar, but because he&#39;s our leading point getter, people think he is.</p>
<p>Watch him. Closely. When was the last time he checked someone? When was the last time he really fought for a puck in the corner? <br />
He avoids traffic like it&#39;s the swine flu.<br />
I&#39;m not sorry for saying this, but people need to re-evaluate what they want and expect out of a hockey player that&#39;s supposed to be your best.<br />
If this is it, we have some problems.</p>Mase commented on 'Cup Awarded in Sunrise: Team BankAtlantic Center Wins Kegger Cup'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e20133ec805a7f970b2010-04-06T18:09:33Z2010-04-06T18:09:33ZMaseI wish I could reasonably disagree with you Bob.

<p>I remember the 2003 draft was supposed to be one of the deepest and best in a long time, and all we have is Nathan Horton and Kamil Kreps to show for it. Now, I realize that was Dudley&#39;s/Keenan&#39;s draft, but that was supposed to be one of the deepest and best in years, and all we have is 2 &quot;serviceable&quot; players(and I&#39;m stretchng that label when it comes to Kreps)from that? You can certainly understand the dearth of optimisim.</p>Clash commented on 'Cup Awarded in Sunrise: Team BankAtlantic Center Wins Kegger Cup'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e201347fb04c11970c2010-04-06T18:01:50Z2010-04-06T18:01:50ZClashEvery year, injuries are blamed for the playoff drought.

Weiss is a solid player, and a valuable asset for such a piss poor organization.
